Deadbird anymore vids or pics of the plane. I have a FW-190 fever now thanks to you. And my only prescription is vids, pics or better yet a KIT!!!!

Sorry to hear your suffering! I've rustled up a couple more pics. Plus a sneak peak at the natural predator of the Fw190!!! I'll post more on the next stage of assembly this evening.

No more vids at the moment I'm afraid but there will definately be more to come as I'm still trying to find the best power & motor combination.

I have been using an experimental 8.5mm x 23mm coreless motors on big Hyperion 240mAh 1s batts in the hope it would provide enough torque to drive a gear ratio of 3.3:1 on a 5030 or 5043 prop. It does initially but it soon has issues and power drops quickly even at 3.6:1 ratio. The motor ends up 'pulsing' like the battery is nearing full discharge - except it hasnt???? Still not sure why - motor wants more amps than can be sustained maybe - but the motor manufacturer is not willing to help.

So I'm testing out 5g brushless motors on 1s. Only bench tested at the moment but the setup seems to provide all the power needed plus a bit of WEP!!!

The research you did, and the amount of detail that you put into it, really shows, and really gives the plane its appeal and market value. I'd buy one in a heartbeat. It's truly a beautiful little Butcher Bird! Kurt Tank would be proud!
